The State of California has debarred two contractors from bidding on or being awarded any public works projects in the state for "deliberate and willful attempts to skirt" prevailing wage requirements.
Soo Kim Electric Company and Lucid Electric are debarred for three years.
The State Labor Commissioner's Office found the following violations:
- Failure to pay prevailing wages
- Failure to pay overtime
- Payroll reports were falsely certified
- Falsely reporting the hours worked by employees
One of the contractors instructed its workers to tell investigators that they were being paid $51 per hour, even though they were only receiving $16.25 per hour.
Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet noted that the debarments "will help to create a level playing field for legitimate employers operating in this tough economic time."
